Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirled Bark Food

PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL CHOCOLATE BARK

Steps:

• Chop peanuts. If using a chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips, chop into pieces.
• Place parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
• Melt the chocolate and peanut butter in separate microwavable safe bowls or glasses. I like to use large coffee mugs. Melt in 30 seconds increments, stir between each until both are melted.
• Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the parchment covered baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Use a spoon to place the melted peanut butter chips on top in 4 lines.
• Immediately take a knife or skewer to create the swirl pattern with the peanut butter.
• Sprinkle chopped peanuts over top.
• Chill for 15 minutes, break into 16 pieces and serve.

Pour chocolate onto prepared baking sheet spreading with spatula to create a smooth layer. Drizzle peanut butter mixture over chocolate layer. With knife, cut through both mixtures to swirl for marbled design. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces.
